A 'must visit' site
Just finished yet another trip to Daleacres, nothing much has changed, still very clean and tidy and well maintained. The approach road has got very dodgy just opposite the car workshops after the pub, if you are towing then hang back to let oncoming vehs through as there is a risk of grounding in the ditch. There is a new micropub just opened in the Riverside Industrial site by the canal. Limited opening hours but lovely beer brewed on premises. I don’t post many entries on this website, being a live and let live sort of person, but in view of the three earlier posters I feel I must speak in defence of the 30 or so Seasonal Pitch holders at Daleacres. The ones I have spoken to on a few visits appear to be mainly middle-aged to retired persons (sorry!) and generally are very nice and helpful people especially when it comes to local knowledge. They have paid about £1500 for the ‘privilege’ of leaving their vans there for the season and are amongst the better behaved members, ie they do not speed, they do not cycle the wrong way around the road, they control their children/grandchildren, they leave the toilets clean etc. all of which is more than a fair number of touring members do. The reason they do this is so as not to give anyone cause to criticise them.
We will certainly return later this year after the school holidays.
